    should your calipers move outwards with new pads fitted?

    mine's do and now clip my wheels as the offset isn't perfect. But is it normal for them to come out a bit? My mate doesn't think so.

    Double sided tape on front brake pads?

    Just put some new pads on and they've got double sided tape on the outboard pads. Is that just to ease assembly so the pads don't keep "falling off" into the disk when putting the caliper on, or is there supposed to be a shim stuck to the back? These are Mintex S3/Leon/TT pads fwiw...
